at an aviation conference in Switzerland. The manufacturer extols it as the most technologically advanced jet in its class.

With features like full fly-by-wire controls and high-efficiency particulate air filters, here’s what the $21 million jet is like.

In the flight deck, you can see the sidesticks that control the fly-by-wire technology, which Embraer initially developed for its military aircraft.

Instead of mechanical flight controls, fly-by-wire uses computer-controlled systems to process the pilots’ input. It means better fuel efficiency as there are fewer parts and lighter wires, plus simpler maintenance.

also uses some fly-by-wire technology, but the Praetor 600 is fully fly-by-wire — the only super-midsize business jet to be so.

Another interesting tech feature can be seen on the nose, the enhanced flight vision system, which helps pilots land in low-visibility conditions.

Inside, there’s a relatively spacious galley that includes a sink …

The galley also included candy, flowers, and some documentation detailing specs for the Praetor 600.Pete Syme/Business Insider

… plus an oven, microwave, and fridge.

The galley has everything you need for your flight.Pete Syme/Business Insider

The 6-foot tall cabin has room for nine passengers, plus a HEPA filtration system.

In some smaller jets, most adults can’t stand fully upright, but that’s not a problem in the Praetor 600.Pete Syme/Business Insider

The cabin is also pressurized to an altitude of 5,800 feet, helping ease the effects of jet lag.

Some of the ceiling panels store oxygen masks in case of emergency. Attached with electromagnets, they appear flush with the interior.

Saving space is paramount on a smaller plane like the Praetor 600.Pete Syme/Business Insider

And next to the air vents, there are small touchscreens showing information about the flight.

Information such as how long ******** of the flight is displayed on the screen.Pete Syme/Business Insider

There were actually several touchscreens, like this control panel tucked away in a stowage area.

Things like lighting can be controlled by the screens.Pete Syme/Business Insider

All the seats face opposite another one, with a table that pops out from the ledge …

Plus there’s the three-seater divan that can be used as a bed.

With the Praetor 600 able to undertake flights of seven hours or more, a comfortable place to sleep is an essential.Pete Syme/Business Insider

At about 55 dB, the Praetor 600 has one of the quietest cabins on the market. That’s aided by the absence of an emergency exit behind the divan, where noise could come through the moldings.

Above the divan and at the front of the cabin were small TVs that displayed flight information.

Journeys on the Praetor 600 can be up to 4,620 miles, so a bathroom is essential.Pete Syme/Business Insider

The ******* can also be used as a seat, and drawers under the sink provide extra storage space.

A small door in the bathroom means passengers can access a stowage area midflight.
